Banana Almond Cookies with Cherries

Happy soon-to-be Valentines Day! These little treats are perfect as substitutes for Valentines Candy or afternoon snacks. Full of protein and wholesome ingredients, these tasty morsels will satisfy any sweet tooth.

These can be made Paleo. To make these truly paleo, no-sugar-added dried cherries must be found, such as these. You can substitute raw vanilla powder or the seeds of half a vanilla bean for the vanilla extract. However, I'm not aware of the substitution for almond extract. Any ideas there?

To present these as little Valentine's Day gifts, either layer the cookies on a pretty plate, cover with saran wrap and a ribbon or layer two (between sheet small sheet of parchment) on a bigger sheet of parchment (about 6x6"), fold, wrap with ribbon and secure with sticker and handwritten note.

A Sweet Welcome

I'm rethinking the way we use herbs in the kitchen and in daily life. It's not always a little dash of this or a sprig of that. All recipes on this blog are dairy and gluten-free. Pour yourself a lush cup of tea and please enjoy Sweet Roots!
